Preliminary Emperor's Children Army List

Hey Bunnies

Earlier this week I dropped a bomb on the group when I informed them I was restarting my Emperor's Children with a new colour scheme. In all honesty, I feel it was a brave decision as I have done quite a chunk and spent a lot of money. I do, however, feel I have made the right choice as I am massively happy with my test model.

I am going to do a more concise army list this time and 'trim the fat'. Bare in mind this is a Great Crusade era list.

Here is my new updated list (without HQs - which I plan on doing quite a few!):

More troops!!! :) answer to all life's questions!In all serious though I'd probably go for one or two Predators than a Whirlwind. The EC strike me as a more concise and accurate pinpoint strike kind of Legion, so in my opinion Scorpius would not be in regular use.

Sicaran's were used during The Great Crusade. In fact FW Makes specific mention of it. "One of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Sicaran Battle Tank was the exclusive province of the Space Marine Legions."

The Sicaran Battle Tank was an Imperial main battle tank and one of the most advanced armoured vehicles used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. The Sicarus was one of the most advanced war machines to be deployed by the forces of the Imperium of Man during the Great Crusade. These powerful vehicles were exclusive to the armouries of the Legiones Astartes and were just in the process of being introduced as a standard vehicle of the Legions when the Horus Heresy broke out. This allowed the Warmaster Horus to ensure that many examples of the new tank found their way only into the armouries of those Space Marine Legions that would side with him before the outbreak of his rebellion against the Emperor of Mankind.Issue with this is: if we are setting ourselves around 927 then I would not say these would be round at all. Late m30 to me means around 980+ so they would not be around. We have to set it before Monarchia as we want Lorgar as a loyalist at the start, then have him turn. Circa 984 when Alpharius is discovered I think we may start allowing the Sicaran.
